Makes sense, I always appreciate healthcare companies that capitalize on bad laws saying that ideally they wouldn't exist and they're trying to work within the existing framework.

Cross-border drug buying works well in the EU, where any European country can buy drugs from any other European country, so whoever has the lowest price usually wins the market.

As a private company, your incentive is to maximize profit for shareholders. Since all you have to do is undercut high drug prices a little, what will stop you from the same price gouging that all other US drug companies perform?
Maybe I wasn't clear -- What I meant to say is that the curriculum barely covered <a> tags, but instead started just with JS DOM manipulation, which meant students were using document.location on click events since they weren't taught anything else. This isn't a criticism of JS best practices, instead it's a criticism of how it's taught, specifically in this curriculum that's sold as a white-label curriculum and used by MANY bootcamps across the US. It might even be the most popular coding bootcamp curriculum in the country. It's possible they've improved it since I was teaching it, but definitely it was not the case a few years ago!

This requires blessing "self" as special (like this in java etc.). Python made a specific choice not to do that (and there are cases where you don't want to use "self", such as metaclasses, classmethods, and (rarely) nested classes that close over their parent class.

Like I said: most of the time, a missing `self` is an error by the user, and so python requires explicit notification both to the language, and to other people, that you're doing what you mean to do, and not just making a mistake.

The author has created a pseudo-class out of the module. There is still a family of functions operating on the same exact data. All that he has done is throw away the init and require more imports.

Given that python is an object oriented language, the correct abstraction for this pseudo-class is... a class.

As others have already pointed out, the example would benefit from a refactor that separates concerns but this so-called "functional" approach makes that harder to accomplish if these functions have been peppered throughout the codebase.

I'm tired of people making trivial arrangements to a codebase like this and calling it "functional", losing most of the OOP benefits of python in the process. Maybe stop rearranging the chairs and get on with sailing the ship.

Maybe I'm just a little salty today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, consequently a huge portion of computing has migrated to the cloud since 2014. But we were running ES in prod on self hosted instances back in 2012. It was very well known then. With or without Amazon's ES service it would have thrived. The reality is, ES solves a core problem for application developers. If you have that problem and you need indexed search capability, you go find it, because building it yourself is difficult and time consuming to do. Agreed that permissive licensing was a big part of its adoption, but people would just be putting it on EC2 themselves without Amazon's managed offering (and many probably still are).
My prior for the majority of a reddit-based Discord server community being pro-LGBT is so astronomically low that the usage of that kind of language is unsettling to say the least. I'm sure there are plenty of well-meaning people just participating in the banter and picking up the 4chan lexicon, but I'm also sure there are a lot of people that use these words with no irony or awareness. It's like being scared to make an ironic offensive joke with your family because you feel like your cousin might laugh just a little too much. I'd be very cautious about assuming lack of explicitly-lgbt sentiment is the same as pro-lgbt-sentiment, especially given the culture wsb has branched from.
Bankruptcy makes it a bit different, I guess, but Gamestop executives can't possibly make a good faith argument that +1000% price in the middle of a short squeeze is a correct valuation of their stock. The SEC has a lot of discretion here (both by law and in practice), and they're just not going to let a company bilk its investors like that.
I'm sure there's plenty of technically minded Wall Street bets people who are capable of setting up synapse, for a self-hosted, non federated matrix/element based chat solution.
You can't. You should select a plan that covers you at all the local hospitals. If you look it up before hand you can usually specify which hospital you want to go to from memory. I do this not just for the network, but also for quality.

Folks like these showed that it is possible to grow a business solo or with a small team, which was and still is hugely inspiring to me.

Just to be completely fair, the statistics you linked includes PHEVs too. So, they counted vehicles like the BMW 530e as well, that could only go 16 miles (26 km) in electric mode only [1], and all big automakers have similar well-selling beasts.

On the other hand, I agree that Tesla is not that far from classic automakers, who are just getting traction. I think a nice thing to follow to predict EV trends in EU is Norway [2].

For the most part it’s just a sub Reddit of western hating people trying to push propaganda, but if you dig through it and it’s comments there’s some pretty negative stuff that would be removed from Facebook Twitter and YouTube. There was one thread talking about the Uyghurs being criminals and that they should be “killed off like the Jews”. Which is pretty sick IMO. That alone should be reason enough to have that sub Reddit removed.

> How does this differ than other populist manipulation via social media? We've seen this technique used repeatedly in many domains. IMHO, it looks obviously the same in many ways.

Are you sure you are up to date with what happened?

My understanding, and in layman's terms, is that a hedge fund shorted more GME stocks than they are available. Redditors noticed and correctly thought that if they buy all the stocks available, when the shorts expire and the hedge funds will be forced to buy, they(redditors) can dictate the price.

They just beat them at their own game and rules.

Want a fix? Make shorting illegal.
> really tough follow up question about a different group of people's language

What are you insinuating?
> There is nothing illegal in the activities that I've seen: just people/institutions trading and holding stocks in an open market.

Not to contradict you, but just a reminder that short selling is based on something significantly different than "trading and holding stocks". The ability to promise to buy/sell stocks in the future at a given price has become so accepted as an ordinary feature of stock trading that we generally cease to notice how revolutionary of a concept it actually is. It's hard to see any rationale for prohibiting such arrangements - they are entirely consensual, and appear to have no additional impact on things that instantaneous buy/sell orders wouldn't also have.

But this is an illusion. The ability to go short/long on a stock is completely different from the ability to buy/sell it, despite it being based on all the same mechanisms. It's a truly radical concept that has slipped under our radar because it could be described without any new concepts or terms.
you don't seem to understand what's going on. gamestop itself is just stuck in the middle of a battle created because of financial investment tools. It doesn't really matter which company it is, it just matters that the company is shorted at >100% of total issued shares.

if the gamestop is still shorted at 130-150% of total issued shares (finra report coming soon) that means the shorters are going to be paying interest and getting margin called as GME prices goes up. the fees for borrowing GME to short have been 30-60%. That is absolutely insane, if you can even find shares to short, which I haven't seen any for the past day.
I didn't follow the GH drama too closely, especially not on HN, but the "apology" seemed to be very thoughtful and almost exactly what you'd want a company to offer in response to the complaints being made against them. I think using it as an example of language being banned/made illegal is something a lot of people would disagree with, and thus the disagreement with your comment.
ProtonMail, Threema, Tresorit and Tutanota warn EU lawmakers on anti-encryption
Good question. The obvious errors were 1) artificial scarcity - too small address space leading to a situation where direct connection/communication between members is impeded by various NAT schemes; and 2) too naive attack-susceptible protocols allowing subversion of DNS, IP routing, email forging/spam. If we ever start again, the system should solve at least these issues.

The bigger issue is the control over internet services that we are witnessing (deplatforming, censorship). Technological ideas can help to prevent those but I tend to think no matter the protocols chosen, it will be the powerful who have the most power to control the network. So better design it in a way that no single power can control it all.
No, I haven't seen anybody talking about discord, just the subreddit/"redditors".
Well, if you interpret radicalized to mean "have seen a real-world example of the benefits of federated social networks, perhaps real enough to shake the notoriously tech-apathetic public into doing something as easy as making an account somewhere else," then maybe it's a useful insight... unless, of course, nobody does anything.
I don't know why people get confused about this! It's a fund to give you income in retirement. That's a pension! You can have both defined-benefit and defined-contribution pensions. Not all pensions are defined-benefit: 401(k) is a defined-contribution pension.

Wikipedia say it's a pension:

> a 401(k) plan is an employer-sponsored defined-contribution pension

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/401(k)

The US Code also says it's a pension - 401 is 'Qualified pension, profit-sharing, and stock bonus plans' and 401(k) is covered under the 'qualified pension' clause ('qualified' meaning the same as 'defined contribution' in this case.)

If it looks like a pension and quacks like a pension and is called a pension in law and is called a pension in non-technical resources like Wikipedia then... it's a pension!

An instructor or professor of linguistics almost got cancelled because he was using Chinese words as an example of the usefulness in speech of useless filler words. “That one” which if you want to or make yourself to, can be made to sound like a racial insult.

You're going to find Dr. Michael Burry. He started buying GameStop under his Scion Capital shop back in June 2020, and /u/DeepFuckingValue on Reddit / Roaring Kitty on YouTube made the case for GameStop as far back as June of 2019.

Big difference. The OP clearly stated his positions in the stock and laid out a strategy for why it would work. Very different than a mass email campaign meant to boost penny stocks.

> The question is, what will we do?

IMHO the time to ask that question was when Congress reversed the rules allowing them to trade stocks.

Or when it was decided it was okay for Wall St to spy on limits and front run the trades of retail investors by having their order flows sold to Wall St through the only accessible means of trading

Or when you have the entire SEC staffed through a revolving door of Wall St insiders that won't prosecute anyone

Or when Wall St gets bailed out for creating a bubble while 5 million people get kicked out of their homes

> allowing themselves to participate in mob psychology

By your definition are democratic elections "mob psychology"? If thousands of common folk decide they like GameStop and want them to succeed suddenly that's a problem but none of the above is?

With all due respect your perspective on what's going on is totally backwards. It is a GOOD thing. The masses SHOULD have control over the markets.
John Maynard Keynes quips that "in the long run we are all dead."
AT and GC never concentrate spontaneously. Brownian motion makes them 'find' each other and immediately snap together like tinker toys when they find a partner that fits. That's why you need warm temperatures, and it's why all chemical reaction rates are proportional to temperature. Even in a solution with 0.00001PPM reagents, reactions take place rapidly when warm.
Thanks for the detailed information. We just implemented that into "How to Play?" as you suggested.
Well, there's some technical measures we've taken and some practical ones to ensure we work to be profitable but remain focused primarily on improving public health and helping patients.

On the technical level, we incorporated as a public benefit corporation, so we are judged not only on how profitable we are for shareholders, but how well be maintain our social mission. That is actually in our charter documents and is a legal requirement.

On a practical level, Mark Cuban is our lead investor and his interest is very much focused on helping people and fixing system issues in healthcare. We also did some screening to ensure our other investors are socially minded and prioritize social benefit as well as profits.

My mindset is that we need to be profitable to be sustainable and grow enough to help the overall system, but we won't be extortionate.
I'm sure that couldn't leak anything important.
> if the recipient of money is the government, it makes no sense for that to be filtered through legacy financial institutions

OP seems to be proposing a redesign of the US Treasuries market that amounts to eliminating the primary dealer system and replacing it with ... an "app"? It's not necessarily a bad idea, it's just completely devoid of any alternative proposal, let alone actual details. And as they say, the devil is in the details. I guess that's the norm in the VC world, float a rough sketch of a very vague idea that sounds lucrative and hope that someone comes to them with an idea that fills in an actual proposal and enough details for them to be willing to take a real bet on a real idea. It's a mix of PR and blue sky thinking, I suppose.
I respect the hustle.
People are confusing the options trading that's going on as part of this with the shorting. Options do have expiration dates, but shorts just charge interest. The thing is if you own a stock and it goes down, worst case is you lose 100% of your money. If you short a stock and it doubles, you've lost 100% but there's no barrier here, the loss could keep going up to 200% or more. If you can't pay it back, the broker is on the hook for this money and therefore they have the power to actually force you to close the short position. You don't control the timing on that. It's the kind of situation where people start jumping out of windows on Wall St.
UNH shareholders would disagree - I've made 10x on it.

Net income is a poor metric here. It includes acquisition costs (and interest paid on debts for said acquisitions).
MRIs are principally taken by technicians then a doctor will interpret them but the bulk of the operation isn't done by doctors and the techs are well paid but are paid less than a first year commercial airline pilot. IF you include all the maintenance and support around in airplane and around an MRI machine I think the airplane will be even further ahead.
